They are a whole bunch easier to deal with if you tap the holes in the frame and use "hex head cap screws" to fasten them in rather than the bolt/nut configuration that was originally used. I tap them the same as the pan bolts and then don't have to look for anything different when installing them.

I did that but then I became concerned that there was not enough beef on the frame rail to get a tight secure connection....

Picture of them installed...?

I see a lot of real estate under my roadster, so I guessing I don't have them...

Thanks in advance...

I've got close to 2,000 miles on mine, hasn't come loose yet. I tapped them with coarse threads so as to match the pan bolts. I thought if necessary I could always put a nut on top, but so far haven't seen the need.
